This template creates a link to a comic for inline citations, for instance:
- {{comics|1880|1}} creates Steampunk Battlestar Galactica 1880 #1
- {{comics|bsgvsbsg|1}} creates Battlestar Galactica vs. Battlestar Galactica #1
- {{comics|cw|1}} creates Battlestar Galactica: Cylon War #1
- {{comics|origins|1}} creates Battlestar Galactica: Origins #1
- {{comics|starbuck|1}} creates Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck #1
- {{comics|vol3|1}} creates Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 3 #1
This template can also be used to shorten a link down to the issue number itself, when citing multiple comics within the same series, e.g.:
- {{comics|starbuck|1|short=y}} creates #1
It can also print out the comic title without being linked, and also strips italics (they can be added on around the template call, of course):
- {{comics|starbuck|1|nolink=y}} creates {{{void}}}
- ''{{comics|starbuck|1|nolink=y}}'' creates {{{void}}}
- {{comics|starbuck|1|nolink=y|template=y}} creates Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck 1|Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck #1[1]
- {{comics|starbuck|1|short=y|nolink=y}} creates {{{void}}}[2]
It can also be used to link to the proper comic issue, but with custom text to be hyperlinked.
- {{comics|vol3|1|In the Beginning}} creates Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 3 #1
